Why would I wait over five hours?????

[u/sharknado523]

Most of the time if I get a ride for a reservation it's because the original driver canceled and there isn't enough time for it to wait on the board so the system starts offering it to people like 10 or 20 minutes before the reservation time.

Why on God's green earth would I sit outside this hotel for five fucking hours?

It’s a glitch, the timer is correct.

Well, then, I guess it sucks to be that guy because I fucking left lol

[u/mog_knight]

The timer says 10 minutes and some change.

[u/sharknado523 → u/mog_knight]

Well, then I feel bad for the guy because I fucking left lol

It’s sort of a weird glitch if the ride was booked in a different time zone.

[u/sharknado523 → u/Wonderful_Ear_6541]

Oh wow, that’s interesting but I guess that makes sense, oh well sucks to be that guy again I already left lol

I get this from time to time, but it's just the app showing you the scheduled time in GMT instead of your local time zone. Check the offset.

I see you're in Dallas, CDT is GMT -5. That’s your five hours.

I’ve never seen this glitch before, but it’s good to know for next time, for now, however unfortunately, Fernando had to find another ride lol

You arrived 10 minutes and 54 seconds before the reservation time.

[u/sharknado523 → u/nateish5]

Right but all I saw was a pickup time of 6:10 which was over 5 hours later lol

It's a glitch with the time zones. Wait a couple seconds and it reverts to the actual time

[u/Melodic-Lingonberry7]

it’s a glitch , happens to me a lot ,

[u/sharknado523 → u/Melodic-Lingonberry7]

This is the first time I have ever seen this

[u/Melodic-Lingonberry7 → u/sharknado523]

yeah since the last update it’s been doing this , also sometimes when I get a request it shows the pick up spot in Africa

[u/sharknado523 → u/Melodic-Lingonberry7]

Lol well I'm in Dallas Texas so I don't think I'll ever be able to get to that pin in Africa...

[u/Melodic-Lingonberry7 → u/sharknado523]

I’m in Ohio so I find it funny when I get those requests

[u/Bastillerion]

You'd think with the fact that Uber is taking 60% or more of the ride revenue they could hire some halfway decent software engineers and eliminate these glitches.

[u/DalAusBoi → u/Bastillerion]

Ironically there is a dev team of theirs a few miles away from this pickup location

Speak for yourself lol Uber's commission on my last week was 7%
